My choice was to add blue and silver to the black and white for my card. I've made black, white and blue Christmas cards before and loved the combo but I haven't made one for a long time and I really enjoyed using the combo again.

I stamped the Baubles Flourish image in black ink onto a white CS panel, stamped the baubles on a separate piece of CS in Marina Mist ink and fussy cut the Marina Mist baubles. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with silver powder, layered the white panel onto a black mat, adhered that to the front of a 5 3/4" square Marina Mist card base and popped up the baubles. I added three Marina Mist punched snowflakes and sprinkled on silver nailheads to complete the card front.

The IndigoBlu Baubles Flourish stamp is a gorgeous, elegant image - it has flourishes and snowflakes so that's a winner with me straight away - but I also love that you can use just the flourish part of the image. As I always decorate the insides of my cards plus the envelopes I knew I'd use that feature a lot! After I'd stamped the flourishes on opposite corners I added the stamped and silver embossed sentiment panel and decided to add one bauble hanging from the flourish. I added tiny punched snowflakes and sprinkled more silver nailheads.

Here's the envelope flap with another bauble and more snowflakes.
